WGBY is pleased to announce a third season of Together In Song and share details on how you and your choral group might be able to be a part of the excitement and fun.

Musical Groups dedicated to the enjoyment of choral music, and who are based in Western New England (the WGBY service area of Western MA, Northern Connecticut, Southern Vermont and New Hampshire) are eligible for consideration. Applicants should upload a 2-4 minute video clip of their ensemble to YouTube, MySpace, or Facebook. Submissions on DVD will also be accepted. The deadline for submission is November 21, 2012. Choirs that participated in previous seasons may submit entries for Season III.

Choirs selected for participation in Together In Song will be brought into the WGBY Studios to have a performance taped to air on television. For additional details, check out the Together In Song Call for Entries. We’re looking forward to your submissions!!

We would like to congratulate the semifinalists selected in each category for WGBY’s choral competition, Together in Song. Judges scores were combined with online votes as a “6th judge” to create a total score for each group. The top choirs were selected in each category. You might see one of your schools or community groups listed.

The final week of Together in Song choir performances is upon us. You’re in for a real treat as we present two more episodes at 8 and 8:30pm, featuring ten fantastic new groups. Here’s a sneak preview of Amherst Regional High School’s rendition of the “Overture to The Barber of Seville”:
